As the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) investigators continue to comb at the site of the ongoing P272 million pula Tutume infrastructural development project for answers in corruption allegations, the chief engineer based in Serowe was nabbed last Friday for questioning. This is the man who supervised the Tutume multi-million pula project. After the recent arrest of Tlhagopi and Thiite, Mmegi sources had intimated that more heads were expected to roll as the DCEC investigations into the matter go into overdrive.
This week, the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development spokesperson, Masego Ramakgati confirmed the summoning for questioning of the chief engineer by the DCEC. He did not mention names of the questioned officer. “It is true that the DCEC office equally had a conversation with another CDC official, our chief engineer last week,” Ramakgati explained. He added: “Of course, as a ministry we are not in a position to comment any further until we receive official communication from the DCEC on the matter, or the outcome of the conversation”. However, Mmegi investigations have revealed that the man at the centre of the DCEC investigations is Chidzani Modongo, the chief engineer.
